something akin to the taste which makes us determine the value of a fine picture. I had the impression that Lucy Cuyler had been relieved from active service and that perhaps her only value was a commercial one as a brood mare. Her mother I regard as one of the very choicest brood mares on my place, except in her age. Her produce has been unfortunate in development but has shown a speed and valuable characteristics equal to the produce of any other.

I wish I understood your

power of reducing a swelling of the legs.

I do not wonder at all that you desire to retain Lucy, and had I understood how you value her I would not have made the proposition I did, but I think there has never been the equal of [Lunol? Surrol?]

Hoping some day to have the pleasure of meeting you in New York, or possibly at Palo Alto,

I remain

Very truly yours

Hon. Grover Cleveland.

President of the United States.

My dear Sir:

The bill making an appropriation for the purchase of a site for a Post office at San Francisco, California, has been sent to you for your consideration.

The present Post office at San Francisco is in a wretched condition and a new one is imperatively demanded.

In the pressure of business before you, I hope it will not escape your attention.

Very truly Yours,

Leland Stanford
